When Freddie met Lilly’s Family

As a small Bridal And Formal dress business (which also specialises in suits!) we personally become very involved with our clients who are searching for that perfect dress. We see our clients at their best (and sometimes their worst!) and through our patience and understanding we work together to make sure everything is perfect for that special moment. When our clients know they have found the dress that makes them feel like the most beautiful woman for their special day, it’s happy moments like these we cherish the most and that is why we work so hard to make sure it all runs smoothly and is a relaxed experience finding the dress – because lets be honest, you don’t need any added stress!

The clients that come through When Freddie met Lilly are not just ‘clientele’; they become a part of our family. We love to hear our ladies share their big day with us and let us know that their day was everything and more. It’s so rewarding to be apart of so many people’s special moments – whether it is a student’s Grade 12 formal or a wedding, we feel privileged that so many women trust When Freddie met Lilly to be a part of such a personal experience.

Thank you !!

Below is a short Q n A from one of our recent (absolutely!) beautiful brides who just got hitched! Congratulations Bessie and Max for tying the knot!!

Bessie and Max’s Big Day!

So please tell us, how did you meet the man of your dreams (aka Max) !?Not very romantic or exciting, Max and I met at the Port Office on a Friday night. I was there as a wingman for my friend so he didn’t get much attention from me apart from my phone number. I was always a sucker for an English accent.

For all our readers out there, where was the venue for your wedding held?Our wedding was at Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens. We were due to have the ceremony under the Jacaranda tree however it was raining so we held it at their back up deck. Our reception was held in the marquee. The team at Bundaleer were wonderful and so helpful, they really went over and above to make things special and easy for us. Apart from the rain (which only Mother Nature can control) our wedding day went on without a hitch.

Who was your photographer? And was this an important aspect to capture the day’s event of you and Max? Which images were most important to you?We used Wildflower Weddings (Kirsty). I have known Kirsty for years so it was nice to have a familiar face taking part in the wedding. Even our guests commented how wonderful she was and she even busted out a few moves on the dance floor later on in the night.

Kirsty provides a free engagement photoshoot as part of her package. We were hesitant to have this however it proved to be really valuable to us. Having been in front of the camera before with Kirsty made us more comfortable on our wedding day.

Max and I aren’t great at posing and don’t enjoy forces photos. For us we wanted to capture the natural moments and make sure to vibe of the wedding was captured. We have ended up with some beautiful candid photos of our friends and family that we will treasure forever.

So tell us Bessie, how was your BIG DAY!? We feel so privileged we could be apart of such a special day.Our wedding was great. A wonderful day with family and friends.

When searching for your Wedding Gown, were you following the latest trends for Bridal wear or were you looking for the more traditional look?I am pretty hopeless so I had no idea what I wanted or was looking for. Monica was really helpful. She listened to what my likes and dislikes were and guided me through the process. Monica and Vanessa both know their range so well and have a keen eye for perfection.

Which Gown did you choose from When Freddie met Lilly’s Bridal Gown Collection? Was Freddie When met Lilly helpful during what can be quite a stressful time in the lead up to the big day?I chose the Valentina Gown and added 3/4 sleeves.

The Girls at When Freddie met Lilly were so supportive and positive. After such a wonder experience I didn’t bother going to any other bridal stores as I knew I was received the best customer service and best end product. I have recommended When Freddie Met Lilly to all of my friends.

How did you know this dress Valentine Gown was ‘the one’ for your special day?I think the dress chose me. It was the third dress I tried on and after that nothing compared.

Any tips, for the future brides searching that perfect dress? Just enjoy yourself and keep an open mind. Trying on dresses should be fun and exciting.

Thank You so much for coming to When Freddie met Lilly to find the perfect gown for your very special day, and we wish you and Max the very best future!
